Last Day in Paris

One last day in Paris at the Academie Nationale de Musique and around. Photos from a long breakfast and the Gare Du Nord and train home.

Paris from Very High Up

Take a ride up the Eiffel Tower and see Paris from Very High Up. View the Trocadero and think that Paris is a city to invade.

Versailles and the Champs-Elysees

I’ve been awake since 5.30am. The bites I’ve acquired have been itching all night and now it’s just a bit too much. Another beautiful Parisienne morning arrives. The pavements are already lined with cigarette butts and mopeds as we head out in the maze of the Paris Metro to make our way to Versailles.

Palace of Versailles

The beauty of the Palace of Versailles, the weather and the tourists. Too many people in one place never leads to good travel experiences.

Louvre and the Splendour of Paris

Louvre and the Splendour of Paris

Walking down from the hotel to Louvre and spending several hours in the famous museum and gallery is a taxing affair. Arriving early is recommended as the queues grow quickly. There are some extremely touristy things to do in Paris and the Louvre is one of them. It’s a big museum. Very big.

Heading off on the Eurostar to Paris. Welcome to the City of Light. Romance, beauty and some very friendly Parisienne women.

Back in London again for the day on a slightly unplanned stopover before heading off to Paris the following morning.
